I can't decide if it's brilliant or awful!

[weeksy]

It's some of both brilliant and awful for me... but more awful than brilliant sadly.

[Mr. Dazzle]

it's different, I'll give 'em that.

That's the point of concept vehicles though right? Throw a bunch of out there stuff into the design, then some of it might actually reach a real vehicle in a somewhat dialled back form.

[KungFooBob]

I like the paint, the 'floating' head light and the seat support and the frame/swingarm.

Not so sure about the brake duct that looks like it's trying to look like a brake drum.

[Supermofo]

I'm not so conflicted. That's fuckin awful. All of it.

Usually though, they make you go 'Whooo! I hope they build that'. (Even though you know they won't/can't). This one? I hope they don't.

[Mr. Dazzle]

For every Dark Side of the Moon there's also a Journey Through The Secret Life of Plants.

There's nothing about that I like. The terrible colour scheme is the worst I've seen but it still doesn't sufficiently distract from the awful looking bike under it.

[cheb]

The first thing that struck was how heavy it looks. Even if it's not or never will be, it looks it.

[Yorick]

The swinging arm is cool. Rest is total shite.

[dern]

It looks like it's almost entirely made of goodridge hose fittings.

[Skub]

I get what they are at with tipping the hat to the MV heritage in the shape of the 750S,but in general it generates significant amounts of not want. If the frame and swinger didn't look so M&P anodised,things may start to improve.

[G.P]

I'll have the old 750S thanks

[ChrisW]

I prefer their other work - Superveloce 1000 Oro

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

That's horrible

[DefTrap]

Well it doesn't like an MV for me, there's nothing special, exotic and italian about it. Looks more like a modern UJM that's fallen into the M&P-Accessories anodising brochure from 1995.

It's only IMO but to me I reckon the Italian's hit the spot only once in a rare while but they get away with so much awful shit cos 'Italian init'. For every 916 there's lots of stuff like the Paso and the original Multistrada

[Mr Moofo]

It looks like the spawn of the aftermath of Captain America shagging a piece of lego
